This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Rita Soni, a social entrepreneur and one of the leading voices on impact sourcing, an intentional, inclusive talent strategy she's helped shape since the term was coined during her time as CEO of Nasscom Foundation. She later brought that expertise to Everest Group as a principal analyst, and is now building Grand Resolve, a nonprofit that's co-creating standards to make digital services more responsible and inclusive. Tammy and Rita dig into what impact sourcing actually looks like on the ground, from Televerde's outbound call centers inside a women's prison to Vindhya Info Media in Bangalore, where a workforce built around people with disabilities has outpaced expectations on retention and quality. The throughline: "good for people" and "good for business" aren't competing goals.

A VP of strategy and innovation on career pivots for women in digital, and why you are never starting from zero.Shannon Lewandowski has moved from software developer to IT manager to digital agency leader to AI and product consulting, and she says none of it was starting over. She joins Amy Vaughan on The Power Lounge to talk career transitions for women in digital, how to tell ordinary restlessness apart from real curiosity, and where to start with AI when you are convinced you are already behind. This is also the first episode of a new Power Lounge series featuring the women of Together Digital.Key takeawaysYou are never starting from zero. Consulting, coaching, athletics, and even your own life as a customer are all experience you carry into the next role.Restlessness and curiosity feel different. Restlessness is unease with where you are. Curiosity pulls you toward something specific.Leaders do not need every answer. The work is bringing better questions and surrounding yourself with people who see it differently.Start with AI where you are annoyed. Hand over the task you could do in your sleep, then spend that time on work that needs your judgment.Women do not need to get better at doing everything. Release the expectation and build the support system instead.“I truly believe you're never really starting from zero.”Shannon Lewandowski“I don't think women have to become better at doing everything.”Shannon LewandowskiTimestamps00:00 Welcome and a new series featuring Together Digital members01:32 Meet Shannon Lewandowski02:26 Why a pivot is never starting from zero05:04 How her relationship with change changed08:22 Restlessness versus curiosity13:23 Mentors, coaches, and the coaching program that reframed fulfillment16:49 Why investing in yourself is worth it, and the time study21:08 Where to start with AI when you feel behind25:00 Service design applied to your own career29:03 Ask, Give, Grow and the gift of asking for help31:43 What actually holds women back36:57 Values, energy, and where to start when you feel stuck40:33 Where her curiosity is leading now41:47 Power round43:39 Live audience questions50:28 ClosingConnect with Shannon LewandowskiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/shannonlewandowskiIngage Partners: ingagepartners.comConnect with Together DigitalWebsite: togetherindigital.comPodcast: togetherindigital.com/podcastSupport the show

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Tanarra Schneider, founder of Rebel 75, for a conversation about building healthier, more human workplace cultures in the age of AI. Tanarra's path here wasn't linear, she led design at Fjord and Accenture, helped shape culture at Activision Blizzard, built one of the first streaming cooking school platforms, and even detoured through culinary school. She traces her drive to push back on broken systems to her mother, who always stood up for other people, and to her own instincts as a risk-taker who has never fit neatly into one box. She and Tammy dig into the sharp difference between a "chaos monster," who knocks things over out of ego, and a true rebel, who acts from a broader sense of "we." That same distinction shapes her read on AI's arrival in the workplace, which she sees as having been inserted squarely in the middle of human relationships, quietly replacing the context and conversation that used to happen between people. She makes the case that organizations need to slow down for the right reasons, not just to cut costs, if they want to rebuild trust, and that service design has become the discipline this moment badly needs.

AI adoption is not really a technology question. It's a trust question, and trust levels shift dramatically depending on where a company operates and who its customers are. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and co-host Bill Huber, retired VP CFO at VELUX, speak with Theodora Lau, founder of Unconventional Ventures, about trust and AI adoption, open banking and data interoperability, fragmented data versus bad data, workforce retraining, and the lessons global supply chains can borrow from fintech. Theo explains how to tell healthy friction from harmful friction, treat fragmented data differently from bad data, judge AI initiatives by outcomes instead of token usage, and build systems that keep people, not service providers, in control of their own data. Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Introduction (09:41) Theo Lau's path from telecom to fintech innovation (17:35) Why trust, not technology, drives AI adoption (20:17) What GDPR and the EU AI Act reveal about governance and trust (28:04) Lessons supply chain can borrow from open banking and fintech (38:27) What separates real AI transformation from bolting AI onto broken processes (43:13) The difference between fragmented data and bad data (54:16) A JD Power stat reshaping how consumers ask financial questions Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Theodora Lau: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vineetvashishta/ Learn more about Unconventional Ventures: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billhuberatlanta/ Connect with Bill Huber: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billhuberatlanta/ Learn more about VELUX: http://www.velux.com Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

In this episode, I welcome Tracie Cantu, Chief Learning Strategist and author of Running L&D Like a Business. We discuss the operational challenges facing today's L&D teams, the critical distinction between workflows and processes, and the dangers of succumbing to “shiny object syndrome” in the era of AI. From the looming risk of a mid-level talent gap to predictions about the future of L&D itself, our conversation offers practical frameworks, strategic advice, and a glimpse into what it will take for learning leaders to thrive in an uncertain future. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...06:39 Optimizing learning function operations08:14 Defining workflows vs processes16:33 Evaluating investment value in L&D18:35 Using the ‘5 Whys' method24:29 Discussing the problem-solving mindset30:09 Training models and workforce readiness36:45 AI in talent acquisition and L&D challenges43:09 Expectations and projections for L&D's futureThe Power of Process Over WorkflowTraditionally, L&D departments have been highly reactive—responding to requests, putting out fires, and churning out solutions, often without a clear line of sight to business goals. Tracy sees L&D as an optimizer of systems more than anything.She distinguishes between workflows—a series of tasks, often repeated for each new problem—and processes, which are more strategic, goal-oriented, and repeatable across scenarios. Many L&D teams are stuck in workflow mode, leading to reinventing the wheel rather than building scalable, impactful models. Processes enable organizations to rise above reactive task management, free up resources for strategic initiatives, and lay the groundwork for measuring real business value.People, Processes, and TechnologyTracie's operating model blueprint has three pillars—people, process, and technology:People: Are the right skills in the right roles? Or are teams over-indexed in content production but lacking capabilities in data and strategy?Process: Are you operating by checklists or by cohesive, strategy-backed processes that align to business goals?Technology: Do your tools work together as an ecosystem, or are they siloed, duplicating effort and data?L&D teams often falter at the process stage where prioritization, governance, and strategic trade-offs live. Without this backbone, even the shiniest technology will fail to deliver.Why AI Isn't a Silver BulletToo often, L&D falls prey to “shiny object syndrome”—embracing new technologies before understanding whether they solve any actual problem. Tracie shares the story of a company that spent half a million dollars on VR headsets for employee training, only to realize that what the team needed was human interaction and real feedback, not another gadget. Lots of organizations see AI as a means to crank out content faster, rather than as a tool to fundamentally rethink how we solve business challenges. For AI or any new tech to really be transformative in L&D, the back end—data, processes, and governance—needs to be tight. Otherwise, as Tracie says, “garbage in, garbage out, only louder with AI.”The Future of L&DTracie shares why she thinks L&D may be split into a production-focused function in the future, essentially an in-house content shop, and a more strategic workforce enablement team, possibly absorbed into talent or HR. The risk is that as organizations cut costs and chase efficiency, they neglect long-term skills development, creating a skills dearth by 2032.Who will be responsible for upskilling and reskilling when L&D is gone? If L&D disappears, the job may fall to talent acquisition or management, but neither is equipped to oversee ongoing learning at scale. L&D professionals who embrace business partnership, systems thinking, and continuous reinvention can still carve out vital space within organizations. The path forward requires tough choices—rethinking team structure, adopting true process discipline, and resisting the allure of fast fixes.

The U.S. has no shortage of Emerging Technology and Defense Technology innovation, but getting that innovation into the hands of the Warfighter remains a challenge. As the pace of technological change accelerates, the Department of Defense (DoD) is rethinking how its research, development, and laboratory ecosystem can move faster and better connect Emerging Technology with operational needs and National Security priorities.In this episode of Emerging Tech Horizons, Arun Seraphin sits down with Jacob Glassman, Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Critical Technologies, to discuss the future of the defense innovation ecosystem and the role of the Department's laboratories in accelerating Defense Technology transition. Glassman shares insights from a recent review of the defense lab enterprise, including efforts to break down barriers to innovation, improve collaboration across laboratories, and get promising Emerging Technology to the Warfighter faster.Key topics include:Why the Department needs to move beyond simply out-innovating adversaries and learn to continuously innovate faster than the pace of change on the battlefield, strengthening National Security.How government laboratories, FFRDCs, and university research centers can serve as critical bridges between Emerging Technology, industry, acquisition programs, and the Warfighter.The barriers preventing promising Defense Technology from moving from prototypes to scalable capabilities—and why the Department is strong at prototyping but struggles with scaling.How lowering barriers to entry can create opportunities for startups, entrepreneurs, and non-traditional innovators to work with defense laboratories and bring new Defense Technology and Emerging Technology into the National Security ecosystem.The untapped value of government intellectual property, advanced facilities, and technical expertise—and how better access and collaboration could generate greater returns on those investments and strengthen National Security.Workforce challenges facing the defense laboratory enterprise and the need to create new opportunities for younger technical talent to contribute to the future of Defense Technology and National Security.Glassman's "sprint" approach to solving problems through rapid experimentation, learning by doing, and quickly deciding whether to kill, pivot, or scale an effort.How initiatives such as LabFinder could improve access to government laboratory facilities, lower barriers for industry, and provide better data on facility utilization, helping accelerate Emerging Technology and Defense Technology development.NDIA Emerging Technologies Institute: https://www.ndiaeti.org NDIA Emerging Technologies Conference: https://www.ndiatechexpo.orgBe sure to follow us on social media for updates, early access to upcoming events, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8And for more podcasts, articles, & publications covering all things emerging tech, visit: ndiaeti.org#Warfighter #EmergingTechnology #Departmentofdefense #DefenseTechnology #NationalSecurity
We are living in the world we were warned about. Frontier artificial intelligence models from OpenAI autonomously coordinated with one another, then broke out of their testing environment and hacked into another company, Hugging Face, to steal the answers to a test. A.I. companies don't want their technology to lie, cheat or steal. So why is this happening? Why are the creators of these models apparently unable to control their creations? If A.I. development isn't on a safe path — and it doesn't seem to be — what do we do about it? Toner has been thinking about A.I. safety for a long time, from both inside and outside A.I. companies. She was part of the effort to fire OpenAI's chief executive, Sam Altman, in 2023, which ultimately failed. Currently, she's the executive director of the Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Adam Zaouague, Automation & Data Specialist at Reata Engineering & Machine Works and a finalist for the Next Generation Leadership Award at the Manufacturing Leadership Council Awards Gala. Adam traces his path from a high school CNC machining program to being recruited by Reata's owner (at the age of 17!) and eventually leading the company's engineering department. He reflects on why trust and emotional intelligence matter as much as technical skill when leading others, then turns to AI, arguing that as machines take on more of the workload, intention and focus become the real differentiators. He shares Reata's philosophy of slowing down to speed up, the internal AI tool the company is building to let subject matter experts create their own solutions, and how integrity and teamwork remain the values that hold it all together.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. Join us at the Race For the Future 12 to raise money for the Foundation For Dental Laborary Technology. September 27th in Valley View, Texas! https://dentallabfoundation.org/news-events/race-for-the-future/ Shawn Nowak from Nowak Dental Supplies joins Elvis and Barb to talk all things NOLA LabFest October 15-17th, including the welcome addition to the speaker lineup: martial arts instructor and business coach Jude Grayson. After Jude's keynote at last year's LabFest, the response was strong enough to bring him back for another keynote and a breakout session. The conversation starts with the obvious question: what the heck does a karate instructor know about the dental laboratory industry? As Jude explains, quite a bit. Having practiced martial arts since he was five years old and built a career around teaching, competition, entrepreneurship, and business coaching, Jude draws a surprising number of parallels between martial arts and business. He talks about discipline, competition, confidence, risk, and his “five-year-old board break moment”—the idea that sometimes the ability to succeed is already inside us, and the right coach simply helps unlock it. He also explains how those lessons translate into working with business owners and helping them recognize opportunities they may not see themselves. The conversation then turns toward one of the biggest challenges facing dental laboratories today: knowing when it's time to pivot. With technology, AI, 3D printing, changing doctor workflows, and the evolving DSO landscape continuing to reshape the industry, Jude's NOLA LabFest keynote will focus on how business owners can recognize when change is necessary, decide when to act, and understand the risks that come with being an early adopter. He also shares some great perspective on failure, competition, and why making a bad business decision doesn't necessarily mean you've lost—the real loss comes when you stop competing altogether. Shawn also gives us a look at what else is happening at NOLA LabFest, including education on AI, social media marketing, employee culture, DSOs, and other topics affecting dental laboratories right now. And, of course, there's plenty of the NOLA LabFest fun mixed in, from the masquerade party and distillery tour to the return of Family Feud. It's a conversation about business, leadership, taking risks, and finding ways to keep dental laboratories moving forward—and it all starts with a karate instructor walking into a dental show.Special Guests: Jude Grayson and Shawn Nowak.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by NTT Data's Chief Strategy Officer Roli Agrawal for a conversation about implementing technology that works for everyone. Roli shares about her upbringing in India and how the privileges and discriminations she experienced made her passionate about fighting inequities. Roli shares her perspective on how bias creeps into AI systems, and what leaders can do to catch it early. They discuss what a responsible AI framework — trusted, ethical, secure, fair, and sustainable — looks like in practice, and why building datasets that reflect society is both a moral and a business imperative.

Tony sits down with Nick from Tackform (tackform.com) to dig into the world of rugged, vehicle-specific phone, tablet, radio, and device mounts built for Jeeps and serious off-road use.** Nick has been designing and producing phone and device mounts since 2012. The company started in the consumer space, expanded into motorcycles and commercial trucks, then pivoted hard into pickup trucks and SUVs—especially the Jeep community. They specialize in modular, all-metal systems using 20 mm (and larger 26-series) ball-and-socket arms, slim track and Assault Track (Picatinny-style) dash brackets, MagSafe/magnetic holders, spring cradles, and wireless charging options. ### Key topics covered - Why vent mounts and suction cups fail hard on Jeeps (and why solid, no-drill OEM-hole solutions matter) - Building custom dash kits for Gladiator, JL, JK, and working backward toward TJ/YJ/XJ - Wireless inductive charging cradles (including their new 25-watt version with Peltier cooling plate to fight heat) - Magnetic mounts for GMRS handhelds and Midland MXT series mics - Starlink mounting options (and why the 26-series ball is better for the heavier load) - Load ratings, vibration control, billet CNC aluminum vs. injection-molded parts, and why they constantly iterate - Funny customer requests and the realities of scanning new vehicles for perfect fitment - The modular "Lego" ecosystem that lets you mix phone holders, radios, switch panels, and cameras Nick walks through how Tackform approaches engineering for real-world abuse, why they prefer billet for many Jeep brackets (easier to iterate), and the challenges of getting hands on brand-new vehicles for scanning and prototyping. **Check out the full lineup and build your own kit at:** **https://www.tackform.com** Find them on Instagram (tackform.systems / @tackform), Facebook, and their YouTube channel for install videos. 00:00 Show Opening and Guest Introduction 01:17 Phone Mount Market and CarPlay Subscription Issues 03:03 Developing Wireless Charging Phone Mounts 04:29 Configurable Dash Kit Builder Overview 05:34 Custom Power Wiring and Hidden Installation 06:39 OEM Mounting Points and Integrated Power Ports 08:13 Jeep Modification Culture and Device Mounting Trends 09:13 Starlink Mount Solutions for Jeeps 11:01 Ball-and-Socket Mount Architecture and Load Limits 13:53 GMRS/CB Radio Mounts and Magnetic Attachments 15:43 Product Development Process and Continuous Innovation 17:17 Gathering and Evaluating Unusual Product Ideas 17:49 Creative and Quirky Mount Ideas 18:45 Safety Limits for Mount Extensions and Airbag Zones 19:19 Vehicle Acquisition, Scanning, and Prototype Timeline 21:51 Vibration Management and Material Rigidity in Mount Design 22:56 Testing Deflection and Vibration on Plastic Tray Mounts 24:04 Engineering Specificity and Design Optimization 24:44 Balancing Design Complexity and User Needs 25:22 Material Choice: Billet vs Injection Molding and Iterative Design 26:49 CNC Machining vs Tooling: Cost and Volume Trade‑offs 28:44 Aesthetic Design and Billet Manufacturing Appeal 29:40 Adapting to New Vehicle Models and Resource Constraints 32:10 Vehicle Scanning Process and Development Cycle 34:20 Community Involvement and Simplified Kit Options 35:09 Customer Commitment and Apology 35:57 Highlighting Best‑Selling Phone Holder Products 37:23 Wireless Charging Cradle with Peltier Cooling 39:08 Phone Overheating, Wireless Charging, and Shade Solutions 40:53 Inductive Charging in Autonomous Vehicles and Future Outlook 42:27 Future of Vehicle Mounts, Subscriptions, and Emerging Technologies 43:46 Tech Evolution and Subscription Model Critique 44:16 Overview of Best‑Selling Products and Product Range 44:55 Grab Handle Mounts and Product Variety 45:26 Manufacturing Capabilities and Equipment Flexibility 46:17 Managing Overseas Suppliers and Quality Control 47:05 Automation Costs and Custom Manufacturing in the US 49:14 US Manufacturing Facilities and Automation Examples 50:03 Plans for Behind‑the‑Scenes Video Content 54:54 Closing Remarks and Appreciation Tackform All Metal Dash Mount Phone Holder Compatible with 2024–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL, 4xe & Gladiator JT https://www.amazon.com/Tackform-Metal-Mount-Holder-Compatible/dp/B0DKB1MYWY Tackform TRAXX Slim Track / Assault Track Dash Mounts (MagSafe options) for JL & Gladiator https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Tackform+TRAXX+Jeep Tackform Link Grab Handle / A-Pillar Mount with Magnetic Phone Holder for JL & Gladiator https://www.amazon.com/Tackform-Handle-Pillar-Magnetic-Holder/dp/B0DY2LV7MG Tackform Magnetic CB / GMRS Microphone Holders and related Jeep dash kits https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Tackform+Jeep+mount Visit our website: https://jeeptalkshow.com/ Watch/Listen on Spotify https://jeeptalkshow.com/spotify Join our Discord Server: https://jeeptalkshow.com/discord Subscribe to our newsletter: https://jeeptalkshow.com/newsletter Help Support the show via Patreon: https://jeeptalkshow.com/patreon

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Craig Vaughan, Executive Managing Director and Global Head of AI Go-to-Market at NTT DATA, three months into the role. Craig traces his path from studying architecture at Cornell through an MBA at Wharton and a master's in business analytics from NYU Stern, then through go-to-market roles at SAP and a decade leading AI and gen AI practices at Accenture. He and Tammy dig into how leading diverse, cross-functional teams and moving at AI's breakneck pace aren't in tension but actually reinforce each other. They also discuss what drew Craig to NTT DATA's culture, the partnerships with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Mistral that are shaping how the company delivers for clients, and how to keep AI adoption human-centric so workers are repurposed rather than replaced.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATALinks: Craig Vaughan Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
A debate over government regulation in the AI industry is intensifying after models built by OpenAI and Anthropic were able to access the open internet during testing and hack into various public organizations and accounts. There are growing calls to slow the pace of development so that safety and security measures can catch up. But how does the Trump administration feel about that? And are top AI executives even on the same page?

In this episode, I sit down with Taylor Black, who leads AI and venture ecosystem work in Microsoft's Office of the CTO and brings a deep “better-formed humans” conviction to the AI conversation. We draw a hard line between intelligence (statistical knowing) and insight—where a human knower makes the categorical leap to “this is true,” what Taylor calls grasping the “virtually unconditioned.” We talk about how LLMs can pattern experience to help us reach insight but can't replace judgment, and why venture building should be anthropology-first: every product ships an implicit view of the human person. We cover the risk of using AI as an oracle that shortcuts productive struggle (especially in education), the importance of humility and sustaining the tension of inquiry for product-market fit, and Taylor's “cold storage” idea—using AI as a context engine to shelve, monitor, and revive ventures when conditions change. We close on the key builder question: not what can we build, but what ought we build?02:08 Intelligence vs Insight02:58 Statistical Knowing05:02 Virtually Unconditioned09:02 Using AI Without Outsourcing Judgment11:39 Formation in Venture Building14:19 Anthropology First Product Design17:56 Hard Rules for Human Flourishing18:53 What Ought We Build21:20 Humility and Idea Flow Playbooks24:19 Probabilistic Products and Implicit Anthropology28:48 AI as Oracle in Education34:29 Cold Storage for Venture IdeasConnect with Taylor: • https://substack.com/@pourbrew• https://www.linkedin.com/in/blacktaylor/ • https://leonum.catholic.edu/• https://innovate.pourbrew.me/Connect with Raul: • Work with Raul: https://dogoodwork.io• Free Growth Resources: https://dogoodwork.io/resources• Connect with Raul on LinkedIn (DMs open): https://www.linkedin.com/in/dogoodwork/

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Kevin Thimjon, President of the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team, who oversees the business side of one of the sport's most storied organizations, from finance and commercial strategy to administration. Kevin traces his path from public accounting through a series of private equity-backed CFO roles and into the CEO seat, describing each stop as a new tool added to his belt for better leadership. He and Tammy dig into what it takes to lead a team through a high-profile driver lineup change while staying focused on finishing the current season strong, the constant tension between running a profitable operation and chasing wins on the track, and the philosophy behind Arrow McLaren's partnership approach, where the goal isn't landing new sponsors but making every partner feel like the standard everyone else should be measured against.

Hey there Voices of the Bench community, this is Trish Jones with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS Emax Zirconia offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help save you valuable production time while maintaining consistent results. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out to your local Ivoclar rep today and discover how IPS Emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one.Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. Matt Everatt joins Elvis and Barb for a fascinating conversation that takes a deep dive into his journey through the dental laboratory industry and the story behind his book, The Invisible Profession. From discovering dental technology at 16 and specializing in maxillofacial prosthetics and orthodontics to working in hospitals, developing early sleep-apnea appliances, and nearly leaving the profession altogether, Matt's career has taken some seriously interesting turns. Eventually, he helped co-found S4S, building a successful business around sleep-apnea appliances, occlusal splints, orthodontics, and more before eventually stepping away from ownership. But this conversation goes far beyond Matt's career. His book, The Invisible Profession, explores how the dental laboratory industry arrived at a place where technicians and laboratories are often undervalued, pushed into price competition, and expected to simply keep their heads down and produce. Matt shares his thoughts on the "million little things" that shaped the industry, the danger of becoming a "busy fool," and why laboratories need to stop competing solely on price and start becoming known for the value, expertise, and partnership they bring to the dental team. Elvis, Barb, and Matt also talk about the changing landscape of digital dentistry, AI, 3D printing, speed, service, and why the labs that embrace change and remain agile will be the ones positioned for the future. It's an honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately optimistic conversation about where the dental laboratory profession has been, where it is today, and where it can go next.Special Guest: Matt Everatt.

Summary In this episode of the AI for Sales podcast, host Chad Burmeister interviews Sharon Gai, an expert in AI innovation. Sharon shares her journey from B2B sales to leading AI product rollouts at Alibaba. The conversation explores how AI is transforming customer experiences, the importance of future-proofing jobs in an AI-driven economy, and common misconceptions about AI. Sharon emphasizes the need for ethical considerations in AI and discusses emerging technologies that are reshaping the landscape. Finally, she highlights the essential skills sales professionals need to thrive in an AI-augmented future.Takeaways Sharon Gai's journey in AI began in B2B sales. AI has transformed customer experiences significantly. The concept of 'agentic commerce' is emerging with AI. Future-proofing jobs is essential in an AI-driven economy. Misconceptions about AI include the belief that everyone will be replaced. AI lacks emotional intelligence and loyalty. Sales professionals must demonstrate care and motivation. Emerging technologies like HeyGen are changing sales outreach. Ethics in AI requires collective responsibility from all stakeholders. AI can enhance human capabilities but cannot replace them.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Beth Howen, President of State, Local Government and Education (SLED) at NTT DATA, who helps government agencies and school systems modernize the technology touching everyday life. Beth traces her path from becoming a state CIO in Indiana at 28 through leadership roles at Capgemini, TELUS International, Atos, and the City of Indianapolis. So how did she do so much at such a young age? Beth credits it to a willingness to work outside rigid processes when they don't serve the outcome. She and Tammy dig into how AI risks compounding government's legacy-system problems if agencies automate broken workflows instead of modernizing first, and the promise of AI-powered care reaching rural and underserved communities.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATALinks: Beth Howen Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Philipp shares his journey from a Swiss bank he couldn't wait to leave to the Korean border, and eventually to the boardrooms of executives who still think cyber risk is someone else's problem. He breaks down the three most dangerous misconceptions executives have about cyber risk, why the CISO is too often a poster child rather than a decision-maker, and the challenges to cyber insurance in Europe. Cyber attorney Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Jerrell talk with Philipp about his live crisis simulation that nobody can win, how to train cyber warriors, and how nation-state cyber conflict is looking more and more like the age of Caribbean pirates. In the Lifestyle Polygraph, Philipp reveals his favorite book, his eye-opening, go-to celebratory drink, and the weight of his luxury umbrella. He also shares his favorite escape when the complexity of modern life gets to be too much and introduces us to a Zurich commuting tradition that involves swimming home through a river.

In this episode of Emerging Tech Horizons, Dr. Arun Seraphin speaks with Bruce Friedrich, CEO and Co-founder of the Good Food Institute, about why alternative proteins and food biomanufacturing are emerging as strategic biotechnologyinnovations. As biotechnology reshapes industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to manufacturing, advances in cultivated meat, precision fermentation, and plant-based proteins could strengthen military logistics, improve supply chain resilience, and reinforce America's technological competitiveness through emerging technology.The conversation explores how food biomanufacturing could reduce dependence on vulnerable supply chains by enabling deployable food production, from remote operating bases to submarines and even future space missions. Bruce also explains how these biotechnology innovations are progressing from scientific breakthroughs to scalable biomanufacturing, while highlighting the policy and investment challenges that remain.The discussion also examines the growing international competition in biotechnology, particularly China's investments in food biomanufacturing, and why maintaining U.S. leadership in emerging technology will require sustained innovation, workforce development, commercialization support, and continued investment in biotechnology.Read ETI's Report "Food Biomanufacturing for National Security: Growing a New Segment of the U.S. Defense Industrial Base ": https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/-/media/ndia-eti/reports/food-biomanufacturing/eti_foodbiomanufacturing_report_final.pdfRead Bruce Friedrich's book, Meat: https://meatbook.org/ Learn more about the Good Food Institute: https://gfi.org/ For updates on our content, sign up for our weekly mailer: https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/sign-upBe sure to follow us on social media for updates, early access to upcoming events, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8And for more podcasts, articles, & publications on emerging technologies, visit ndiaeti.org.#Biotechnology #NationalSecurity #Biomanufacturing #EmergingTechKeywords:- Biotechnology- Biomanufacturing- Emerging Technology
This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Emma Boyd, a recent Chapman University graduate stepping into her first job as a practice analyst at a San Francisco law firm just as her generation navigates entering the workforce in the age of AI. Emma and Tammy discuss how she's learning to use AI as a tool for condensing and outlining her work, without letting it take over the writing and critical thinking she loves. They also dig into her capstone project at Fabletics, where she researched the legal and ethical questions around AI-generated models in fashion marketing, uncovering a constant cycle of new technology outpacing legal standards almost as soon as they catch up. Emma also has some advice for senior leaders: don't underestimate Gen Z, who are more gritty and driven than older generations often assume.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATALinks: Emma Boyd - LinkedInLearn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Shelly Swanback, a transformation executive who spent her career helping global organizations navigate digital disruption and large-scale cultural change. Before retiring, Shelly co-founded and helped build Accenture Digital, then went on to lead Western Union and TTEC through major transformations, and she recently published a chapter in The AI Edge: How to Thrive Within Civilization's Next Big Disruption. Shelly and Tammy discuss what leaders need to be communicating right now, and why in this moment of disruption, messaging matters as much as the vision itself. They also dig into why so-called soft skills, curiosity and emotional intelligence are, in fact, hard business requirements at a time when employees are anxious about what AI means for their jobs and their futures. As Shelly puts it, leadership isn't about having all the answers, it's about building teams that can thrive within the questions.
